Why can’t I just be normal, oh why can’t I just be sane I’m sick of these thoughts, these worries constantly in my brain All they do is make life harder for everyone, especially myself And no matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to get help The anxiety is so strong it […]

I’m crying and falling a part While you just sit there and stare at me When did I become the enemy? When did I become the person you don’t want to see? What happened to loving me? Protecting me? Saving me? Am I too broken for your sympathy? What happened to your empathy? I thought […]

Extreme pain shoots through my upper back. My fingers are swollen and sore and my legs feel to weak to walk. I try to sit at work but the pain is getting to be too much for me to handle, too much for me to hide. I need to walk away for a moment, I […]

On the outside. That’s how she felt. Disconnected from the world and the people around her. Longing to be herself but always being someone else because the person she was would always just annoy people.

Drowning I feel like everyday I’m slipping farther and farther away and no matter how hard I try to stay happy and confident, the water always pulls me back down. I’m drowning, gasping for air but no one can help me. People try to, my fiance, my mom, my grandma, my therapist, my friends, […]

Roller coaster Like a roller coaster out of control is how she felt The highs were amazing but she knew the lows soon would be dealt When she was up, she swears she can fly But soon she’d crash back down and just start to cry It was a vicious cycle she suffered through […]

Do you know what it is like to feel like you’re constantly in a dream? To look in a mirror and have no connection with the face looking back at you? Can you imagine the frustration one might feel when nothing around them even feels real? I do. I know the feeling because I suffer […]

I’m Tired If you looked at me and asked how I was I’d tell you the truth I’d tell you i’m tired, though it’s no use Because to you tired means sleepy And though that is true My tired has a ton of more meanings too I’m tired of never being good enough no […]
